Swiper NO Swiping!

Dora the Explorer is my 3rd child. Dora and Noelle are best friends and Noelle LOVES her. Noelle watches Dora in Mommy's bed in the mornings when Mommy is not quite ready to get up! Noelle is up every morning at 6:30, sometimes 6:29, but for the most part it is 6:30. Dora is perfect for a little extra sleep (trust me every second counts) but she is teaching her things that I am completely unaware of. Last week Noelle found my cd collection and was quietly counting them to herself..... in SPANISH! I have never spoken a word of Spanish to her. Ever. She counted all the way to ten, like this...mundo, dos, tres, quatro, cinco, safe, eyeden, ocho, nueve, dias! I was amazed. Yes we got it on video after some coaxing. Then yesterday Abe asked Noelle where her shoe was and she said "Swiper swiped it" Dora's influence is not as noticeable in Chloe...yet. Chloe is smiling all the time and she is so close to laughing I can feel it. I feel so blessed to have such beautiful, sweet daughters. Noelle is so sweet to Chloe. She holds all her toys in front of Chloe so she can look at them. Chloe smiles more at Noelle than Abe or I. They are great sisters

That is amazing! Noelle is a little smarty pants. I actually enjoy watching Dora myself. I pretend like Avery likes it but sometimes I hear myself answering her questions out loud. JK. Soo cute. I miss you guys. We need to get together soon. Avery misses Chloe:)
